HID Xenon conversion kits, 3Gen
An excellent upgrade and very easy to install.
Products
1 x Ultra H4-3 Hi/Lo Beam 35w HID kits
- Choose ballast type: Premium 35w
- Color Temperature: 4300k £64.99
Ordered from:
http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/hid-con...its-p-260.html
The kit arrived the day after ordering and I received an email that morning giving the 1hour slot that it was delivered in.
The kit has a high quality feel and comes with everything needed.
However the instruction manual supplied with mine was not for the kit I received. It looked like it was for an earlier model. Also it was written like it had been translated through 5 different languages before English.
Providing you either get the correct manual or ignore the wrong one the install should take less than 1 hour.
Ignore the red cable, nothing to do with the HID kit.
The green in line fure shown comes with the kit.
The photos show how the kit looks installed.
The rubber cover on the back of the headlight needs to be cut as the lamp assembly is bigger than a standard H4 lamp.
Using a pair of scissors or a knife cut the ribbed section off the case leaving a few mm of the ribbed section protruding. This enables the rubber to be stretched over the lamp.
Remove the shield from the lamp by unscrewing the two small screws holding the assembly on. Then re assemble once rubber cap is pulled over. Try and avoid contact with the lamp as this can reduce the lifespan.
The Hi / lo beam dash board light will work if either the relay is altered to accommodate the surfs negative switching. Or as I have temporary done one of the H4 lamps is fitted to the spare socked. The relay supplied with the kit is in a sealed unit and not loose as the manual says. Therefore cannot be altered for negative switching as the manual indicates. I have contacted the supplier regards this and will update hopefully soon.
The beam pattern is much better than I expected, and nobody has flashed me so it must be ok for oncoming traffic.
The only problem is that the side lights now look yellow in comparison so have ordered some LED lamps to replace these.
As the photos show the quality of light is excellent, I only wish I had installed them earlier.
All in all £65 well spent.
